Anti-Scl-70 is an ELISA-based, automated, in-vitro test system for the quantitative determination of IgG antibodies against Scl-70 (DNA topoisomerase I) in human serum. This test is also useful in ...

Anti-SS-A is an ELISA-based, automated, in-vitro, test system for the quantitative determination of IgG antibodies against SS-A 60 and SS-A 52 in human serum. Autoantibodies against the two antigen...

Anti-SS-B is an ELISA-based test system for the quantitative measurement of IgG class autoantibodies against SS-B in human serum. Antibodies against SS-B are used for the differential diagnosis of ...

The detection of autoantibodies against Sm proteins is one of the ACR criteria for the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Anti Smith antibodies serves as a prognostic marker for SLE.

Smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) are?autoantibodies,?proteins?produced by the body's?immune system?that recognize and attack its own actin, a protein found in smooth muscle and other tissues, especia...

The group A ?-hemolytic streptococci produce various toxins that can act as antigens. One of these exotoxins is streptolysin-O. The affected organism produces specific antibodies against the exotox...

Thyroglobulin is a glycoprotein which is comprised of two identical subunits and represents the major protein found in thyroid. Anti-Tg are associated with cases of mild hypothyroidism or hyperthyr...

TPO is a glycoprotein enzyme, in vivo function is the iodination of tyrosine in the synthesis of T3 and T4. Autoantibodies to TPO are potentially deleterious, and may have a pathogenic role in auto...
